Its Definately Inventive.......2007-07-31

I am one of the remaining die hard Ross fans so I buy most whatever I see is new, remixed, or warmed over. I was curious what the Japanese take on club remixes would be. While there is no one track that totally blows me away they consistently kept my interest on songs I have heard hundreds of times. Captain Funk's version of Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where Your Going To?) is a Faux live performance in an early 1980's Punk/New Wave style remix. Sounds bizarre I know but it works. Reminds me of early Blonde. The Boss (which has been remixed dozens of times over the years) sounds fresh and contemporary. No way do I think this will be a hit in the US but if your a Ross/Supremes fan its worth it.

Great Idea That Misses The Mark And WAY OVERPRICED.......2007-07-31

This was a CD I had ordered without the least bit of hesitation, After hearing it I had wished I had had a chance to sample. This is a great idea,
remix one of the most popular bands of all time. However the project comes up short. Grant it that there are a few good tracks, the rest fall short of grabbing the dancefloor. You Can't Hurry Love And I'm Coming are decent dance tracks, the remix of Ain't No Mountain was to say the least DISSAPOINTING. Just a drawn out intro that never really goes anywhere. Oh Well I guess if you're a Supremes Fan you''ll buy this just for the pure novelty of the disc, my advice look for a used price that will save you $10 or $15.

Diana and The Supremes Are Never Leaving !!! .......2007-07-28

I bought this cd because i not only love them, but wanted to hear the mixes which i always buy from other artists. I LOVED them all! I would have to say that if this would've been a US release, I could so see the music company promoting the Remixed album with Stop In The Name Of Love.
First there was Marilyn Monroe Mixes from Japan, Now Diana Ross and Supremes. What next, Elvis Presley !!!

Japan DJ Mixers Know how to make you Dance!!!!

re invented.......2007-07-25

I love these mixes. I have previously bought remixes of Diana's both made in the States and in England but they merely put a revamped beat behind the groove. These Japanese remixes totally change the concept of Diana and the Supremes. The new version Of I'm still waiting is my favourite. Also deeper beats on Upside Down and the Boss have absolute excitement for me. I think we should give credit where it is due. These modern Japanese producers have made the songs sound so new and I can easily imagine them being dropped into a set at nightclubs and dance parties.

NOT EVEN FOR TRUE FANS!.......2007-07-25

the remixes are gawd awful. was hoping for some sort of dance remixes which have heard in clubs. however, the songs on this cd sound as if someone was just tinkering with some electronic equipment and decided that could be called "remixes". this is NOT worth purchasing - trust me. and I am a B I G both diana ross and the supremes fan.

Customer Reviews:

This is a song for you.......2007-07-15

"Horn of Plenty" is an odd debut album for a band, since it was created before the band proper existed.

Instead, the first Grizzly Bear album is largely the efforts of Ed Droste, and he spreads himself over several genres -- freakfolk, pop, psychedelica and post-rock, layered together into gentle, hypnotic melodies. It's like sitting through a fuzzy, colourful dream and waking just in time for the remixes.

It opens with strange animal noises, and a reverberent hum... and a gentle guitar under a thin layer of murmuring keyboard. It sounds like someone doped Grandaddy. "I'm a deep sea diver with my fins/and underneath your current I do swim," Droste murmurs distantly. "I'm a deep sea diver losing air/and around here I'm sad swimming/you don't care..."

Things get slightly more upbeat in the gentle tripfolk of "Don't Ask" ("I fell into your arms that night/Don't ask"), before trickling into a series of fuzzy, gentle songs: exotic scratchy electropop, fluting indie-rock, ghostly ballads, lo-fi tunes that sound like they were recorded over a walkie-talkie, and shifting epics of shimmering freakfolk. It all finishes up with "This Song," a gentle guitar pop melody that may have a beat, but is as drowsy as a lullaby.

And this release has a second disc of remixed songs, which gives the mellow songs new twists -- jangling strings, a psychedelic reworking, funky dance beats, gentle electronic waves, maracas, grimy rock edges, carnival rock, hard techno, and what sounds like radio static. And these are all done by some brilliant artists -- Final Fantasy, Dntel, Ariel Pink, Efterklang, the Castanets, Alpha, Solex and Safety Scissors.

Grizzly Bear doesn't sound anything like its name would imply -- no rough edges, no rock, no wildness. Just very soothing, mellow fuzz-folk and gently lo-fi indie-postrock, which sounds like a worn-out, half-asleep freakfolker slowly drifting out to sea, in a mist of dreams. Yes, it's that endearing and pretty, but without an ounce of pretension.

Musically, it's layered like the Grand Canyon. At the core, it's made up of gentle guitar riffs and wandering acoustic melodies, but then Droste quietly weaves different sounds over it -- a haze of fuzz, ghostly synth, rattling drums, gentle keyboard melodies, some squiggling vinyl and crackling radio sounds, and a sprinkling of bells, tambourines, flutes, birdsong and other little sounds.

Droste does the same thing with his mellow, gentle, sad voice -- in "Showcase" he layers, echoes and harmonizes with himself, until it sounds like a chorus of Drostes are melting into the powerful melody. Lyrics are almost superfluous, but Droste spins a series of bittersweet songs about wishing that you hadn't lost someone ("My chest hurts a lot tonight/Maybe you can fix that... And when I walk on by, I see you waving...").

Grizzly Bear's debut album is a fuzzy, mournful little gem, and the bonus disc of remixes is pretty good too. Bittersweet, dreamlike and thoroughly enchanting.

Sweet........2007-04-13

That first track Deep Sea Diver.
Oh man.
That is so sweet when that electric guitar comes in at the end there.
It's underwater space time...you know what I'm talking about. That sweet sweet spot.
And then the whole rest of the album.
Not a bad song on it.
I like their second album as well, but not as much...as this one.
Sounds like nothing else. Sounds like the inside of my brain.

I've had this album for a couple of years now, so I didn't get the remixes. I heard em. They're ok. A nice little treat, but the album its self...finds its way in to CD player...often.

Yellow-House is better, but this is still good.......2007-04-07

Because this album tends to be a little more random and spacey than yellow house, I find it slightly anxiety producing, but overall I think it's a great album, but for me, only when I'm in the right mood...

Space lines and walls.......2007-03-03

I listen to a lot of music and I listen to this album everyday...fantastic.

Who'd have known?.......2006-02-25

It is evident within three minutes of this album that this is something special. Unlike the usual self-recorded crowd, Grizzly Bear uses their constrained space and uses it to blanket their music with a layer of aural insulation. Through these crackles through time, prepare to feel like you are in the woods. This album is one of the most moving I have found in years.

Album Description

Vocalist Tracy Thorn and multi-instrumentalist Ben Watt began making music together as Everything But the Girl in the early '80s while students at Hull University in the U.K. By the '90s their spare-yet-sensual, jazz-inflected tunes evolved nito a richly textured fusion of pop and electronica-"Pop-Tronica"-that shimmered with diverse musical idioms. A favorite both in the clubs and with critics and aficionados, the duo's innovative sound has become iconic to the genre.

Gorgeous Electronica to Chill With.......2006-08-01

Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn are living legends. Not since Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were at their peak as Eurythmics has there been a stylish British duo whose music combines solid producing and songwriting skills with the spell cast by a vocalist of great individuality and power. Furthermore, at a moment in Everything But the Girl's history when most bands would have gone under or - even worse - become a living fossil imprisoned forever within the mausoleum of Adult Contemporary, EBTG chose to adapt rather than die, and along the way became one of the most widely respected and influential bands in the business. Until 1995, EBTG were no more than a cult band, known for their jazzy stylings and nostalgic evocation of a pre-rock era atmosphere of trenchcoats, Left Bank cafes and Nouvelle Vague hip (Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn are nothing if not living examples of cool hipster Euro-chic at its best). After gaining a lot of critical attention during the mid-to-late '80's jazz-pop revival, and scoring their first top 10 UK hit (a cover of Rod Stewart's "I Don't Want To Talk About It") in 1988, EBTG made the shark-jumping decision to go for US radio success. Their first album under their deal with Atlantic records (1990's "The Language of Life") remains their only major misstep, abandoning their customary sleek jazzy stylings in favor of necrotic midtempos a la Burt Bachrach and Carole Bayer Sager. Despite some airplay on the kind of radio stations targeted at suburban housewives, the record managed to alienate their older fans and wasn't particularly memorable to boot. Then, Ben Watt developed a rare bone-marrow disease and nearly died. Tracey Thorn's voice fell silent as EBTG took a hiatus which many fans feared permanent. Fortunately, 1994 brought us the deeply felt "Amplified Heart," a collection of stripped-down folk numbers which suggested a return to the fundamental roots of popular music-making (a few good songs, a great vocalist and perfect guitar play) and a fresh start. In 1995, fate intervened. A chance introduction and a newly-recovered Ben Watt's developing interest in electronic music led EBTG to producer Todd Terry's studio and a remix of an "Amplified Heart" track called "Missing." The house beats and the emotions were equally deep, and the song was an instant classic. Perhaps not since Bob Dylan abandoned his acoustic and plugged in his electric had an artist changed styles so abruptly. Overnight, EBTG went from being a little-known cult band to massive worldwide success. What could they do for an encore? And how to avoid the accusations of "selling out?" Miraculously, their follow-up record, 1996's "Walking Wounded" demonstrated Watt's new mastery of ambient and deep house chords, which - combined with Thorn's sensuous-yet-chilly-alto and the duo's basic songwriting skill - made for a powerful set and international hits like "Wrong" and "Mirrorball." EBTG had accomplished something few acts in the music business have managed to do - they changed their musical style, became worldwide successes and attracted a horde of new followers without alienating their old fans or losing critical acclaim in the process. Amazing! Although the group has been on hiatus since 1999's smash hit set, "Temperamental," Ben Watt's work as a DJ, producer and promoter has kept them current, and this remix set makes a beautiful stopgap until the long-awaited day arrives when Ben and Tracey return to the studio together. "Adapt or Die" might be subtitled. "The EBTG Story," for it demonstrates the reason for their successful transformation into an electronic act with soul. The songs here (aside from the now-inevitable "Missing" and the great "Corcovado") mostly come from "Walking Wounded" and "Temperamental," so longtime fans won't find any surprises here. The marvelous thing about this record is how fresh the songs still sound today ("Walking Wounded" is now 10 years old after all) and how relevant. Each remix puts Thorn's amazing voice front and center and never forgets (with one unfortunate exception) what makes every track click in the first place. This is first-class electronica, equally suitable to chill to or to dance to, with just the right balance between technology and soul. Highlights of this set are a gorgeous version of "Corcovado" which is impossible not to dance to, a stunning reinterpretation of "Five Fathom" and Kenny Dope's electro-jazz reimagining of "Downhill Racer." There is only one clunker on this set - an unfortunate remix of "Temperamental" which sounds like a funeral dirge and ought to have been erased the next day. Just skip over that one and let the rest of this gorgeous record flow over your spirit. For those of us wondering what EBTG will do for their next record, now that modern dance music is bigger than ever and electro-clash has come and gone, "Adapt or Die" is a great preview of coming attractions.

Pleasantly surprised.......2006-06-30

Everything but the girl has never sounded so good... truly awesome remixes, if you like good modern mixing talent coupled with oldies but goodies. I especially recommend Corcovado, which I think is unlike any other I've heard before... Beautiful voice, great sounds, and a pleasant flow from song to song. A highly recommended chillout CD...

A good dance CD that's unfortunately uneven - you'll like it but not greatly.......2006-01-08

This remix album of some of Everything But The Girl's better songs is good, albeit uneven. It does make for some pretty good dance music, though. The album starts off very strongly, but it starts to fall apart after "Corcovado". The remixes are mostly pretty well done, and on occasion even better than their original counterparts (see the first three tracks)! Singer Tracy Thorn has a pretty great voice, even if it's sort of a guilty pleasure. A good amount of people should like it, I think. This is mainly meant to be a dance album, and it somewhat succeeds in that department. I think the best way to utilize the album would be to play single tracks off of it. If you're looking for a good dance album then this will probably at least satisfy you. Recommended.

Highlights include:
"Mirrorball"
"Before Today"
"Missing"
"Corcovado" (sort of)
"Downhill Racer" (sort of)
"Single"
"Five Fathoms" (sort of)
"Temperamental" (sort of)
"Wrong"
"Driving"

Must Have for the EBTG Collection.......2005-11-25

I recently went online to see if Everything But the Girl had released anything new since Temperamental and came across this CD. I immediately purchased and it hasn't left my car since. While granted that this a remix album, it does nothing to shortchange the absolute brilliance of EBTG. The best mix for me is Lullaby of Clubland. I think I listened to this song about 20 times in a row from the first time I heard it. The classics are also here: Missing and Wrong. It was listening to those two songs in the clubs ten years ago that first introduced me to EBTG, of which I am so eternally grateful. I recently played the Missing remix from the CD at a DJ gig I did two weeks ago and the reaction blew me away. Missing is still the quintessential club staple after all these years. EBTG rules!

Great Remixes........2005-10-25

Remix albums are a hot thing now and Everything But The Girl were definitely in line to release their own remixes on an album. I am always first in line to purchase any remix album that comes out and this release is definitely worth it. It contains some awesome tracks and EBTG are definitely one of the artists from the 90's that wont be forgotten. Especially since they re-released a Todd Terry remix of the massive pop club track Missing. Of course on this release they don't have the Todd Terry remix of Missing but a rare unreleased CL McSpadden Powerhouse Mix. The remix definitely takes me back to 1995 when club and house music were exploding and this track was definitely one of the songs to help do that. I especially love the Knee Deep Remix/Ben Watt Vocal Re-Edit of Corcovado. It's got that hot Latin House vibe going for it and it definitely gets the groove going. The DJ Jazzy Jeff Sole Full Remix of Mirrorball has been given that extra deep downtempo beat to make for a laidback soulful remix. It's originally a great track and this version has definitely improved upon how wonderful it is. Kevin Yost's Everything And A Groove Mix of Five Fathoms is just remix perfection. I originally had this remix on the CD single and it was refreshing to definitely to hear it again. I like the way they have broken down with the remixes and they include both very upbeat ones and laidback ones as well. Lastly it's excellent to end the CD with an acoustic version of Driving. I great touch to an awesomely produced CD. Worth it for any fan of remixes.

Amazon.com

Unlike most single-artist remix albums, J to tha L-O! actually has a purpose beyond raking in cash from fans. The best of these cuts brings much-needed weight to the often-weak writing, vocals, and production that mar Jennifer Lopez's two previous multiplatinum albums. The prize, of course, is her duet with Ja Rule on "I'm Real," but the other highlights (a Rodney Jerkins reworking of his own "If You Had My Love," P. Diddy's "Feelin' So Good") follow along similar hip-hop/R&B lines. Her stabs at street cred aren't always as successful; the 12-letter curse she employs on the Sack International Remix of "Play" is a good deal less than convincing. Generic house rhythms don't do anything for "Let's Get Loud" and "Walking on Sunshine." Finally, the new, tacked-on ballad "Alive," cowritten by the superstar, begins like "I Honestly Love You" but quickly proves itself a new "Greatest Love of All," filled with blind self-love. It's hard to tell if there's even anyone else in the room, or if she's just singing to a mirror. --Rickey Wright

from what i noticed, it was in perfect condition. And i got it faster then i exepected.

just like another paula abdul.......2007-01-08

her career is so similar to paula abdul it's not even funny! Both started out dancing. Paula worked with janet jackson in the mid 80's and appeared in her videos, J LO worked with janet in the mid 90's and appeared in a video of hers. Paula Abdul tried her hand at music in the late 80's as a dance-diva and J LO did the same thing in the late 90's. Both of their debut albums Forever Your Girl and On the 6 sold well, and better than their follow up albums. Early 1991, Paula Abdul released Spellbound and early 2001 J LO released J LO. Both of them had strong first singles and their albums fell off the charts pretty fast although both managed to reach 3 million(instead of 8 million and 5 million like their debuts) and have a lot of hits from their albums. Let's not forget to mention that paula briefly did acting as well and J LO is also an actress. This Is Me Again didn't make a dent in the charts and Rebirth was the final nail in the coffin in 2005, just like paula's Head Over Heels. The first single from their final albums both had good videos(My Love Is For Real & Get Right) but by then it was too late and the public already had enough of them. I expect to see J LO release a compilation album by 2010 and appearing as a host or something 10 years from now.

J to tha L-O the Remixes.......2007-01-03

I paid for this product along with the another items Janet Jacksons Design of a Decade and never recieved either. I am very dissapointed and will never order from Amazon again.

The only J. Lo album worth having..........2006-10-14

Let's face it people: Jennifer Lopez's music isn't about talent, it's about the production. Therefore, a J. Lo remix CD is a good idea because most remix CDs are about production, and that is J. Lo's strong point. This CD is hot and way better than any of her studio albums, and every song improves upon the original version. For hip-hop heads, you got the remixes to "Love Don't Cost a Thing", "Ain't It Funny", "I'm Gonna Be Allright", "I'm Real", and "Feelin' So Good", which is my favorite of the hip-hop flavored tracks. The best tracks though are the ones remixed house/trance-style: "Walking On Sunshine" and "Waiting For Tonight" in particular are both fabulous. And I really like Darkchild's remix of "If You Had My Love." He produced the original too, but he brings something catchier and bouncier to the remix. The downside to this disc, if you want to call it that, is that J. Lo really takes the side stage because the remixers are the stars of the album. I don't personally mind this though, because I am not a Jennifer Lopez fan per say, just a fan of good dance music, which this is. Oh, and that ballad "Alive" does not gel with the rest of the album, so I do not feel it belongs here.

Terrible C.D.!.......2005-12-07

I hate having the same first name as Jennifer Lopez! Her music is awful! This C.D. is awful! Don't buy it; it is a waste of money!

Also, I hate Jennifer Lopez as a person. She grew up poor, yet she never gives any aid to poor people. She doesn't care about anything but money.

Not Bad But A Weak Attempt.......2007-02-11

I love Depeche Mode. I have for quite a long time, and they can put out some awesome remixes. Sadly, many of their best remixes are not here.

I do hope DM intends to put out another box set like this and includes some of the remixes they left off (read: all of the remixes they left off). Disc 1 and 2 are all right, but the choice of remixes leaves MUCH to be desired. Some are standards, some are flat out crap. The bonus disc, #3, fairs a bit better. The alt "People are People" remix by Sherwood is a total waste. Better left on the cutting room floor.

Seriously, DM needs another set of remixes. This box set doesn't do them justice and will leave most fans flaccid.

One Star out of Five.

Great music.......2007-01-10

This was another Christmas gift to my friend who loves Depeche Mode. All of these remixes are fantastic. I highly recommend this to any fan of this group.

angelic resonance.......2007-05-04

A lot of people try to write off Nine Inch Nails as noise. But I can only perceive this as angelic resonance. The first time I heard Down In It, I was on the beach, in the middle of the night, and I was shaken to the very foundations of my being. I knew instantly what the artist was singing about... the loss, the loneliness, the pain of a need so deep he would rather destroy himself than live without it... and if there was anything I possibly could have done, I would have done it to ease his suffering.

Listen closely to this music. This is the sound of despair.

I know it intimitely.

Great song, but blah remixes........2005-09-30

You know that song, "Down in It" by Nine Inch Nails, where he speaks to where it's almost in a rap, and there's lots of industrial noises on the chorus, etc? Well, that song _is_ included here in the form that also appears on the album. An entertaining song to say the least. I am just as big of a NIN fan as anyone else out there, but the TVT singles were really nothing to sneeze at. Especially "Down in It"'s single.

What makes this not worth owning? Well, others have explained that already. Besides, the remixes are boring, repetitive, and too long. If you are a halo collector, I guess you can get this. If you like the original "Down in It" and don't know if you want to get "Pretty Hate Machine" (a highly recommended album), I guess this too. But I feel that this single doesn't have the merit of the later ones like "Closer to God" and "March of the Pigs", truly great NIN singles.

a must have.......2005-07-01

true, these songs can be found on halo 3, head like a hole single, but if you are a serious nine inch nails collector, this is a must have.

down in it, although not the best nine inch nails song out there, shows you the beginning on nin. this is the first song trent wrote as nine inch nails.

Decent, but of no real value-- material available elsewhere.......2005-05-24

This single contains three mixes of "Down In It" by Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc-- the skin mix (which is the album mix available on "Pretty Hate Machine"), the shred mix, and the singe mix (the latter two both are available on the US "Head Like a Hole" single). Given that all this material is available elsewhere, the value of this CD is only to people (like me) who want to have a nice set of all the Nine Inch Nails halos (Reznor numbers all his releases with a "halo" number, I have no idea what the significance is).

The song itself is pretty well known, but in case you don't-- its a decent piece, catchy, nice rhythms-- primarily beats and effects over which Reznor speak-sings a sort of esoteric lyric thats been said to be about everything from a bad trip to a bad girl. The skin mix is concise and probably the best of the three, the shred mix is like the old 12" extended mixes-- its essentially the album mix with several minutes of additional beats and sampled vocals from earlier in the piece. The singe mix is a sort of dance mix with the vocal largely removed and relegated to a sample and is probably in my assessment the least enjoyable of the three mixes.

I'd give it three stars if it wasn't all available elsewhere on the strength of the material. Again, its for completionists only.

Obsolete... get Pretty Hate Machine and Head Like A Hole.......2005-02-09

Down In It (1989.) Nine Inch Nails Halo One

Trent Reznor's classic alternative/industrial rock group, Nine Inch Nails, first formed in the late eighties. At conception, the group did not use the gritty, agressive, down-to-earth industrial stylings that would make them popular in the mid-nineties, but rather a techno-influenced rock sound. Because of the difference in sounds, many a fan overlooks the band's early material, or just passes it off as being bad when it really isn't (it's my favorite NIN stuff!) Read on for my review of Halo One - the Down In It single.

This was the first official Nine Inch Nails release, and it contains three versions of the title track. The Skin Version of the song is the same version that appeared on the Pretty Hate Machine album, and the other two versions are available on the American Head Like A Hole single. In other words, this release is completely obsolete unless you're a Halo completist. Furthermore, the Head Like A Hole single contains the demo version of Down In It, something that really SHOULD have been included on this single. Since you can get all of these songs in other places, wouldn't you just be better off bypassing this single entirely? That's right. Unless you're a completist, don't bother with this.

This release (and most of the stuff from the Pretty Hate Machine era) seems to be becoming more difficult to find, implying that it is out of print. I could care less about this single since it's obsolete, but the other releases from this era really should have their production resumed and their availability increased.

My final verdict is obvious - The Down In It single is for Halo completists only. Likewise, the stuff on most Nine Inch Nails singles (usually nothing but remixes) is likely to appeal ONLY to big fans of the group. If you're a casual fan, stick to buying the albums, not the singles/remix EPs. If you just want all of the band's recordings and aren't so much a completist, you can get these on the aforementioned releases.

I Love The New Single..........2006-06-22

I don't have this collection. However, I like a lot of the songs from it & I ABSOLUTELY love the new single, "And Then We Kiss". It's awesome. I have heard it only once outside of my house - it was played in a club. It's seductive, it's techno, & it's just amazing! I love Britney Spears...

WAS DISSAPOINTED NOW HAPPY!.......2006-05-03

THE FIRST TIME I POPPED IN THIS CD I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS HORRIBLE ANDD THAT SHE COULD DO MUCH BETTER BUT THEN I PUT THIS CD IN AGAIN RECENTLY AND DECIDED THAT I LOVED IT, THE REMIXES ARE GREAT THE TOXIC REMIX IS A REAL TREAT I EVEN LIKE THIS REMIX OF TOXIC ALMOST BETTER THEN I LIKE THE PRIGINAL SONG! SO THIS CD IS A MUST BUY FOR BRITNEY FANS!

Not really that great.......2006-04-19

Although its quite okay. I think that britney needs to divorce Kelvin. He is just bringing her life down the drain. He is such a rat. She needs to get over him and realise that he is what is making her unhappy. Go BRITNEY!!!

not good remix album.......2006-03-28

I'm sorry but I don't like this remix album, I think she has better remixes in her singles, and I really think the guy she is with we all know who is just using her for her money. and please britney don't ever think you can be better then madonna there is noway, madonna doe's sing live at her concert.

Perfect soundtrack to Summer 2007.......2007-07-18

Open Your Box is the second of two Yoko Ono remix CDs under the moniker of Ono. The first CD Yes, I'm A Witch gathered a broad range of musical talents to reinterpret her songs creating an eclectic mix of tracks from Peaches electroclash take on Kiss Kiss Kiss to Antony Hegarty's dreamy Toy Boat to Hank Shocklee's short but sweet Witch Shocktronica Intro. Most, but not all, of the remixes work pretty well (Cat Power and Porcupine Tree come to mind as the weaker tracks) with the dancier tracks being the standouts.

Open Your Box, released a few months after Witch, takes its cue from Witch's dancier tracks by being a disc full of non stop incredibly cool dance remixes from more high profile artists like Pet Shop Boys, Basement Jaxx, Felix da Housecat and Danny Tenaglia.

The sound samples will not give you an idea of what to expect because these are multi layered tracks that build up over the duration of the track. The music in and of itself is pretty much your garden variety Euro house that you would hear at your local gay bar but what transcends it is the juxtaposition of Ono's unique voice and vocal stylings over a pulsating pounding beat. Yes, Yoko is not the world's best singer but I enjoy the sincerity in her voice which makes it work really, really well. And her voice will surprise you. It's really not as bad as so many people make it out to be.

The opener, You're the One is one of the highlights for me and is lovely and heartfelt especially when Yoko's voice cracks as she sings "How do I teeellllll you? You're the one."

Another highlight is Peter Rauhofer's Hell In Paradise remix. The start of my love affair with Yoko began with this song when I saw the video for it years ago in the early 80s. What makes this remix so wonderful is once Yoko's sings her vocals over a pulsating trance beat there's this added disco diva chorus that repeats the main chorus of the track. Hard to explain but it's exactly the kind of stuff you want to hear when you're all sweaty and half naked on the dance floor.

Give Me Something is yet another highlight. There's this break in the middle of the song and in a call and response style Yoko sings, "Give me something!" as a male vocal answers "Yoko wants!" It gets even better when Yoko's voice echoes, "Give me something . . . hard...hard...hard...cold...cold...cold. . ."

Possibly my favorite track of the entire disc is the Pet Shop Boy's Walking On Thin Ice remix. I am not a fan of PSB but they do wonders with this remix. I get goosebumpy and teary eyed when Yoko sings, "When our hearts return to ashes it will be just a stor-or-or-ory." Even her primal scream yelping is pitch perfect with this remix.

The only track that doesn't work for me is DJ Dan's Give Peace A Chance remix. I don't think it's possible to turn that song into a dance track without it coming off cheesy.

Open Your Box is the perfect summer CD and was the perfect soundtrack for me and my buds during gay pride as well. Everyone I have played this for either loved it right from the start or reluctantly succumbed to it charms. I used to love Yoko Ono but now I totally worship her. Yoko, you need to get into the studio ASAP and record a disc full of original house music. It will work. I would definitely buy it.

If you like club music, get this NOW!.......2007-07-05

This is an incredible CD. The mixes are all great/good. Her vocals are unique to say the least, but that sets her apart from the generic dance diva.

Amazing remixes for great classics.......2007-06-08

I love Yoko and I love electronic music, so I can only love this CD.

Ono - Open Your Box.......2007-05-20

Excellent remixes! Bimbo Jones' catchy 'You're The One" will get you moving as will the unexpected "I Don't Know Why" by Sapphirecut. DJ Dan's mix of "Give Peace a Chance" brings a smile as well. Peter Rauhofer also did an excellent job with "Hell In Paradise".
Although the shortened remixes of "Walking on Thin Ice" and "Everyman Everywoman" are appreciable, it would have been nice to hear some more 'new' remixes instead of what has already been released. Nonetheless, it is very listenable!

Outstanding Remix/Dance album.......2007-05-09

Wow, this is great stuff. I can agree with critics who say Yoko is not a great singer, but she is a great artist, and these remixes produced by a wide variety of dance floor wizards really knock me out. If you like to dance, and the artists who created the remixes appeal, then get this album. Guaranteed to get you out on the floor! Open Your Box, indeed!

Hey Yes.......2007-02-25

I'm not one for 'remixes' but I have to say that this collection is great.
Cyndi Lauper's music is amazing, its pop with abit of Cyndi eccentricity but when she's being remixed u either love it or hate it and i must say these remixes are great. I was grooving to them and they still manage to capture that Cyndi Lauper spirit. The rarerities are awesome too, if ur not a fan u wont have them or u'll be collecting these songs on various cd's and singles (and maybe they'll still be on records lol) but they added them here and they're great.

Great Flashback.......2006-11-05

If you love Cyndi, you'l love this remix CD. Tokk me back to the 80's and also some new music that is always done by the the only one that can Create it. GO CYNDI!

I love you, Cyndi!.......2006-10-09

"Hey Now! (Remixes & Rarities)" is a little gem of a remix album with some great tracks.
1. Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun) (Junior Vasquez Lounge Remix): Interesting version. Slower and more reggae than lounge, Ms. Lauper's rerecorded vocals are quite good. 10/10
2. You Don't Know (TM's Know-It-All Mix): I likes it! The tribal drums and synths are gorgeous! 10/10
3. Come On Home (Extended Club Mix): COOLNESS! Disco meets club for an enjoyable experience. 10/10
4. That's What I Think (Club Mix): Very 90's. A bit dated, but still very nice. 10/10
5. The Ballad of Cleo and Joe (Soul Solution Vocal Dub): The remix that officially turned me on to Cyndi Lauper. AWESOME! I do have a question, though: why is it called a "dub" when it includes almost all the vocals? 10/10
6. Walk On By (SAF's Walk to the Dance Floor Mix): A tad weird, but enjoyable. 9/10
7. What's Going On (Long Version): The extended mix. Will take you back to the late 80's/early 90's. 10/10
8. Mother (Extended Version): Has the same NF (Nostalgia Factor) as track 9. World is Stone: Haven't heard it yet. -/10
10. You Have to Learn to Live Alone: haven't heard it yet. -/10

All in all, a fantastic release. Cyndi looks beautiful on the front cover!
PS: To the lame-o who said all remixes are crap: you don't like remixes. Good for you! Just realize there are some people who do.

Luscious Lauper ~.......2006-05-27

this Cyndi Lauper CD is nice. very disco...so far...

...up-beat and also refreshing. i love her voice!

i am inspired to purchase much more of her music.

Thanks Miss Cyndi !!!

Best album I've bought in 12 months!.......2006-05-03

I have purchased remixed material before - and wished I hadn't.
This was a dream and completely different. Cyndi is actually singing the remixes, it's not just her voice manipulated and changed to fit new music and its not too obscure to be recognisable as her voice and her style.
I am very pleased with this purchase - it's helped me enjoy some older favourites of mine.
It even includes a mix of 'At Last' from the album by the same name that contains contemporary classics.
'Mother' - a solid classic and well remodelled, compelling and poignant.
'You don't know' - what a fabulous upbeat spin on Cyndi's song to life's direction! Easily my favourite on here although to be fair I enjoy them all very much.

She does so much - her talents and voice have been applied to pop, she has rocked a little, she has sung the greats - now she sings dance music, as good as anything you would hear in a night club.

A diamond edition. I will treasure it.

French-Algerian DJ Chebi i. Sabbah's sequel to his celebrated La Kahena features 11 tracks rhythmically re-imagined by some of today's brightest turntablists and producers. Sabbah's son, Elijah Opium, injects "Sadats: Les Filles de Marrakech Remix" with an infectious rap by the group Fnaire, while more Moroccan homeboys, Tahar and Farid, provide their tonal two-cents on the same material on "Sadats: The Sufi Sonic Remix." Sandeep Kumar drops some bhangra science on "Toura Toura: The Nav Deep Remix," and the Japanese "Zen dub" DJ Makyo brings his Nippon nuances to "Madh Assalhin: The Zen Breaks Remix." Lablemate Gaurav Raina of Midival Punditz provides the tantric timbre on "Im Ninalou: The Groovio Deep End Remix." More sonic spices from Bill Laswell, Bassnectar, The Chackadoons, and Yossi "Ex-Centric" Fine complete the reincarnation of Sabbah's tracks by these superior scientists of sound. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Album Description

For his 2005 release, La Kahena, Algerian born Cheb i Sabbah returned to his North African roots. Collaborating with a wide variety of North African female singers, Sabbah created contemporary folklore, rich with the authenticity of trance ceremonies filtered through the magic of his trademark production skills. La Kahena garnered both criticdal acclaimed worldwide and retail success, reaching #6 on the Billboard World Charts. Now, the morphing and mixing continues as Sabbah has personally selected a team of eleven remixers to further evolve and transform the music on La Ghriba: La Kahena Remixed, a landmark in today's electronica movement. La Ghriba cements Cheb i Sabbah's legacy as a pioneer and visionary in the exciting, fast-changing world of trance global music as an artist and as a producer. Temple of Sound, Bill Laswell and newcomers like Fnaire, Bassnectar, The Chakadoons, Yossi Fine and others contribute to these remixes. From the energy of Bhangra, to Morrocan street rap, to trance, to dub, these new collaborations cover the many facets of the outernational dance-floor.

An Inspiring Mix.......2007-03-08

I love the diversity of the tunes on this album. All of the cuts are well-mixed and smooth. The CD would provide the perfect backdrop for a sleek, modern cocktail joint. It brings together a number of diverse musical styles and weaves them together smoothly for an elegant sound. Moreover, the album contains enough diversity to make it an enjoyable backdrop for an entire evening. It is not like so many modern albums, where you feel like you are listening to the same song over and over again.

La Ghriba Grabs You.......2007-02-26

What can I say- From the opening notes to the last whisper of sound I was filled with a longing and sadness for a country lost to the ravages of war- I could only think how happy my mother-in-law would have been to have heard this since she was never to return to her beloved country once war had deposited her onto the shores of Europe- Yes, La Kahena Lives!

Electronica doesn't get more fun than this.......2006-08-14

My first DJ Cheb disc was "Shri Durgha" which is both wonderfully inventive yet reverent to its source. I usually hate remix discs of any kind, but liked what I heard at Barnes and Noble (first 15 seconds of each track) and bought it.

Unlike Durgha which felt organic and only the subtlest bit of touch by the DJ, La Ghriba as a remix project is just the opposite and happily so as its a great fun ride. Trippy infectuous third world grooves keeps the toe tapping, and keep this disc hogging the CD player from all comers.

I don't remember when the last time I thought of a piece of electronica as "great fun", maybe not since "Live Orb 93", but in any case it's been way too long. This one qualifies easily.

BEST ALBUM!.......2006-08-04

I have heard everything from DJ Cheb I Sabbah, and this is by far his best album!

What were they thinking? .......2006-06-16

I loved La Kahena, and would give it 7 or 8 stars if I could, but I can't. This disc is a piece of crap. First, it sounds like it was mixed by a hearing impaired person. Second, the need to remix the brilliance of La Kahena to make it palatable to what someone thinks is American club culture (at least as it may be thought to exist in a place like Houston, Kansas City, or Pierre, South Dakota) just escapes me. La Kahena is a brave and brilliant integration of rockin' Maghrebi sounds. This ... ick!

Two stars for the original.
